Brought my car in for service. One of my complaints is the infamous “Increased Battery Discharge” problem. Just got a call from my advisor stating I left my headlamps on for two and half hours at one point. I said that’s impossible because I always have them set to “Auto”. Nevertheless, he said he “charged” the battery and that it appears to be fine now (which I don’t believe because since having the problem, I’ve gone on several 45+ minutes drives, which should have “charged” the battery, after which I was still experiencing the problem). ANYWAY, what I’d like to know is, hypothetically, if the headlamps were in the manual “on” position (which they were not), does the car automatically cut them off as a precaution after a certain amount of time? We have a Lexus that does so… Can't believe this bs. :|
